My good friend Dr. George Solomon of George Washington University and I developed a small business threat index to help entrepreneurs assess their susceptibility to the recession.
It has been published at entrepreneur.com. You can assess the financial vulnerability of your business here.

I am running a small business in
Alameda County and really interested of what threat business has to offer. Care to give further details?
Hi Jeff,
I REALLY enjoyed taking the Small Business Threat Index self-quiz and assessment. I got a -10 when I took it. Sounds like I have some work to do. :)
I would add this for anyone considering taking this assessment: it may seem a little complex and daunting at first, but it's really not. Just read the questions carefully and break them down if you need to. Have your financial statements handy if you're not intimately familiar with your business numbers.
